Nicki Minaj Opens Up On “Nightline”: “My Father Was Abusive”

Nicki Minaj revealed intimate details about her childhood on a recent episode of “Nightline.”

“My father was abusive. We were afraid for [my mother’s] life because whenever he would have a real bad outburst, he would threaten to kill her,” Nicki confessed.

The Pink Friday star added: “I wanted to kill him. I wished he was dead.”

On a lighter note, Nicki apologized to her fans for the unforgettable nip slip on “Good Morning America.”

“I’m so sorry about that,” she told Chang. “People are ridiculous if they think I would use that as a stunt. I would never, ever, ever—swear to God—do something like that on purpose. That’s ridiculous. I would never do that.”
